Of course there are more than this, but this list is comprised of "some" mainstream disciplines that have very different histories, philosophies and characteristics.

There are 26 multiple choice questions that should be answered with honesty to best suit you to your match. Some questions may have several answers that you agree with, or non that you agree with, but you should try to answer the best possible one.
